PMCG 2019 Annual Report

Abstract

The year of 2019 was quite special, particularly as we intensified our work in Ukraine. Our partners will be aware that in 2018 we established permanent representation in Ukraine, enabling us to become more deeply involved in numerous projects in that country, and to support its advances in economic development, democracy and good governance through policy, structural and administrative reforms. Among other activities, we are working under the European Delegation to Ukraine project - Mid-term evaluation of the project ref. ENI/2017/368-814 Communicating Europe in Ukraine (CEIU), as part of the consortium led by B&S Europe. The objective here is to assess CEIU, a project aimed at supporting Ukraine’s reform process through the development and delivery of a positive and impactful communication approach based on the EU’s support for Ukraine. The evaluation focuses on analyzing achievements of CEIU. In particular, the performance of the project, its enabling factors and issues hampering proper delivery of results were all reviewed in order to adjust its design accordingly. Its final results will support the EU Delegation to Ukraine, the Government of Ukraine and relevant line ministries, as well as other stakeholders to plan future activities and interventions more effectively.
